Abstract
Anisotropy in the wetting behaviour of a silicate liquid in contact with the faceted sapphire 1010 surface has been demonstrated using a simple specimen geometry. The shape of the glass pockets is influenced by the asymmetric faceting of the a-Al2O31010 surface. The glass remains preferentially in contact with the 1010 facets in a-Al2O3. Using this approach, which allows control over temperature and composition of the glass, a sequential study of the mechanisms of solution-precipitation and facet growth is possible. © 1995 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
